Abstract
The present disclosure relates to UI systems and processes including methods for displaying on a computer display information about electronic documents matching selection criteria. Summary information may appear in representative bubbles that can be smoothly panned and zoomed, with amounts of detail changing in proportion to the size of the bubbles. In a small size, an image extracted from the document, if any, may be displayed. In one size, keywords identified by NLP and NER algorithms can be added. In another size, a document summary can be shown. In another size, a full-text view a scrollable widow or iframe displays the document within the bubble. Bubbles may be clumped by various criteria including topic, age, popularity, and so on. Bubbles may use colors to indicate topic, age, language, or document source.
